Das Wohltemperierte Klavier - Teil I, BWV 846-869 (Urtext edition). By Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Edited by Ernst-Gunter Heinemann. For piano. Piano (Harpsichord), 2-hands. Henle Music Folios. Pages: XIII and 121. Baroque. SMP Level 10 (Advanced). Collection (paper bound). Standard notation, fingerings, introductory text, performance notes and thematic index (does not include words to the songs). G. Henle #HN14. Published by G. Henle (HL.51480014).
With standard notation, fingerings, introductory text, performance notes and thematic index (does not include words to the songs). Baroque. 9x12 inches.
The world-famous pianist Andras Schiff, a most familiar name to Bach fans on account of his complete recordings of Bach's piano works, has provided fingerings for both parts of the Well-Tempered Clavier. He discusses aspects of performance practice in a detailed preface. The basis for the musical text was Henle's revised edition of Part I published in 1997 and Yo Tomita's brand new revision of Part II (spring 2007). A detailed commentary rounds off the editions. Both parts of the Well-Tempered Clavier are also available as Henle Urtext editions without fingerings and as study editions.
This title has selections that range in difficulty from SMP Level 9-10.

I was hooked!
The minute I opened the package I was at my piano all day! I love this arrangement of the WTC! The notes are big enough to see and the picture of the great J.S. Bach in the book is a nice add, even the comments in the back are really...

Well-Tempered Clavier
I bought books one and two in Henle Verlag also, and yes I feel they're reliable, but based on what "original" text? I personally like the Bischoff publication because it gives alternate notes-from different "original" texts--of what Bach may have intended; Verlag doesn't do this.

simply the best edition
This edition, aside from being the most accurate in terms of content, is beautifully engraved with clear printing and perfectly spaced notes. It is so easy to read! I am attempting to learn the entire thing, which will be quite a pleasure with this edition. Everything is written so clearly...
